“Greatest local bookstore. I had to buy a last minute birthday gift for my wife and my guy at the counter gave me 4 recs based on a simple she's doing this in her world now. Ended up with a great book, big success. Right in the middle of the highlands, tons of stuff to do to just wander afterwards.”

“I love going here! I try to shop independent bookstores, and until a few weeks ago, I've never had a bad experience at Carmichael's! But the last time I was here, a worker made nasty comments about me while I was quietly browsing. It was really off-putting, and I'm still not entirely sure what I did wrong. I ended up leaving without checking out. I'm not sure if I want to go back- I might have to see if I can find another bookstore to patronize. Other than that, you can't go wrong with Carmichael's!”

You can also rent or check out DVDs of good audio and visual things. Movies and talks that is.Look her before seeking out any other supply or book store. They are about the faith, and out Lord, and not concerned with getting rich. They really care about people.PAX.”

“I enjoy walking around the bookstore. It's much smaller than their earlier location and there is no cafe which is sad. Also, the books are way overpriced. Kids enjoyed looking around though and the Lego table to play with was a nice touch.”

“Awesome and unique bookstore and music store. Decent selection of books and well organized for a used bookstore. They have some old games like Atari, game boy, and some I couldn't recognize. Fair prices. I'm glad this store is surviving still in the online music and ordering days.”

“VERY interesting place! Yes, it is run out of the owners house, but you would swear he sleeps on books! They are wall to wall, first editions, etc. It's not your typical bookstore with a rack for popular sci-fI, or fantasy, he has complete rooms dedicated to history, arts, self-help, etc. but they are mostly old. The smell of old books permeates the entire house. It's a beautiful thing. Go spend an hour looking at historic Louisville books, (I found a courier journal cookbook from the mid eighties here!) or go upstairs to peruse a wall of art! It's a fantastic place!”

“The staff are super helpful and make it easy to rent/return books. I’m a new grad student, and didn’t attend UofL for my undergrad, so I appreciate their help and being able to answer any questions I may have. I like the size of the bookstore as it’s not overwhelming huge but has quite a few options as far as merchandise goes.”
